My principal place of residence is not in the Coastal Ward area. I am also standing for Canterbury District Health Board.24 years ago I left South Brighton for Waikuku Beach and sadly watched the steady decline, underinvestment, over promises, under delivery in this stunning environment. Those living in the coast do it for a reason, lifestyle, its values, the environment and a sense of community. The earthquakes should have accelerated the work programme for this area but I believe you've been patronised with grandiose plans without looking after the basic maintenance requirements of roads, recreation faculties and drainage. You deserve stronger representation; passion is not enough. It's time to stop the rhetoric and time for action. I am strong, forthright and have experience in coastal communities as a previous Waimakariri Deputy Mayor and regional councillor. If elected I will return to this piece of paradise and will vigorously demand that from Southshore to Brooklands you are treated with a much better level of service and the community's views are respected

My principal place of residence is not in the Coastal Ward area.It's an honour to ask for your vote to represent you.I have advocated for and supported fellow citizens as an insurance expert over the past six years. I want to represent my community now because we are in a period of change with challenges that demand we find, in a transparent way, solutions that give all a fair go.There is no room for arrogance, ignorance or talk down behaviour. We need honest, realistic solutions to real problems. We love the area that is the Coastal Ward because of its plentiful and easy access to natural habitat and landscapes: the beach, sea and forest. These need to be protected and have good safe access so we can enjoy our beautiful environment.We can work together to improve our lives and help our community because I want, like you, a life that isn't broken.

My principal place of residence is in the Coastal Ward of the Coastal-Burwood Community Board area.I am the current Burwood Pegasus Community Board Chairperson during a time where extraordinary circumstance has called for extraordinary leadership. I have been fortunate to lead a united board overcoming numerous challenges, making complex decisions and overall helping to make the ward a better place to live.My passion is advocating for the recovery and enhancement of the greater New Brighton and Coastal communities and this focus earned me an earthquake award for running a welfare centre after the quakes.My previous training and experience in geology, ministry, accounting and business leadership equip me to serve on the boards of Rebuild Christchurch, Eastern Vision and Avondale School.I want to ensure the positive gains made this term continue to enhance a productive working relationship with the community, Council, Development Christchurch and Regenerate Christchurch as we continue to consult on challenges such as the Residential Red Zone and Coastal regeneration.

While working in residential property management and development I have brought positive change in our Ward through various volunteer roles. These include the New Brighton Pier and Foreshore Society, North Beach Residents Association and Canterbury Youth Services (Easter Camp, Spencer Park).As Chairperson of a coastal Trust I have played a leadership role in the beach promenade proposal and am currently working with Council and development entities. This follows a successful partnership with Council on the North Beach War Memorial/Community Centre refurbishment. My strengths in building relationships and engaging stakeholders, combined with my community knowledge, will help bring progress to our Ward.Action will restore hope and certainty.
